Dear Committee Members, I am pleading that you vote Hb1493 Inexpedient to Legislate. The only thing more grotesque and gorey than the photos typically chosen by anti-abortion/pro-life groups are the videos of these horrific subjects moving! Please don’t subject NH students to these horror films, unless you’re prepared to also show them the tragically slow and painful death experienced by women who are denied treatment after experiencing a partial miscarriage of their cherished pregnancies just because this life-saving procedure is the same. Our public school children are already subject to enough stress and trauma from regular active shooter drills that start at the earliest grades - however these might possibly save lives, while horror movies do no such thing. Leave these inflammatory and monstrous videos out of our schools, away from they eyes of our innocent children, and contained to the ideological partisan battles you fight at the State House in Concord. Respectfully, Jennifer Siegrist
